I'm quite confident with using an English OS, to be honest all my
systems are using english locales, because most of the times I can't
stand german translations. So it would be enough to have a german
dictionary on the Newton.
I found a link to a website dealing with creating foreign dictionaries
for an English Newton:

http://www.kallisys.com/newton/dicts_and_kits/?lg=en

So, if there is a newton owner out there with such a dictionary/kit,
please let me know. Otherwise I'll give the instructions a shot when I
win the auction.
